Loading for a 6.5 Grendel bolt action

[LR1955]

Looking for hunting and shooting loads. My barrel is 18" with an 8.5 twist. I think I'd like to go with lighter bullets for more velocity.

I currently hunt deer using Sierra 85gr HPBT out of a .243, so I don't feel like I need the larger bullets for hunting. I'd just like a good bullet that performs well.

I've really just started reading, but I've seen that AA2230 is a popular powder choice for the lighter bullets?

PA:

Have you looked at the reloading data offered by AA and Hodgdon? They have extensive load data for the Grendel.

Or, you can search the forum. I recall a discussion with AA2230 some time ago.
